Microcrystalline Tyrosine (MCT®): a depot adjuvant in licensed allergy immunotherapy offers new opportunities in malaria by Cabral-Miranda, G, Heath, MD, Gomes, AC, Mohsen, MO, Montoya-Diaz, E, Salman, AM, Atcheson, E, Skinner, MA, Kramer, MF, Reyes-Sandoval, A, Bachmann, MF

“…Both MCT and Alum strongly increased immunogenicity of CSP compared to PBS in both C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Challenge studies in mice using a chimeric <em>P. bergei</em> expressing CSP of <em>P. vivax</em> demonstrated clinically improved symptoms of malaria with CSP formulated in both MCT and Alum; protection was, however, more pronounced if CSP was formulated in MCT. …”

Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Also, currently there is an absence of a good behavioral paradigm which mimics major depression so we hope to develop one by applying chronic stress through forced swimming test, together with clomipramine, to male wild-type mice. However, the results were not on par with our assumptions as we presumed that the mice will develop depression-like symptoms after 7 days of treatment and we also did not manage to generate the viral vectors. …”

Focused array analysis of diabetic skin wound. by Ling, Wei Yin.

“…To understand the interplay among these players behind angiogenesis and discover possible therapeutic targets, a focused array approach employing real-time quantitative PCR technique was used to unravel the differential gene molecular profiles in the healing of chronic diabetic mice wounds compared to that of normal wounds. In vivo analyses using wildtype (+/+) and diabetic (ob/ob) mice wounds revealed many angiogenic factors and inflammatory mediators with altered gene expression patterns and levels leading to the chronic inflamed state of diabetic wounds. …”

Synaptic CMOS transistor by Chai, Zhen Hong

“…In this work, electrical measurements were conducted on commercial level TiN/HfO2 gated n-channel MOSFET transistor (with an equivalent oxide thickness of 1.7nm) to demonstrate that it can exhibit some critical synaptic characteristics of a biological synapse such as excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic current (EPSC and IPSC), short-term plasticity (STP) and long-term potentiation (LTP), metaplasticity, and spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP). The mechanism behind the output characteristic of MOSFET to exhibit synaptic-like response is the charge trapping and de-trapping at defects in the oxide and oxide/semiconductor interface. …”
